Otaki blue/flame

It is a high-performance shoe, precise, structured and supportive: suitable for crag climbing, long routes and bouldering.

In Japanese colloquial language of the samurai, an Otaki is an ancient sword: extremely sharp and precise even against small opponents. The concept also suits sport climbing: Otaki is a precise, structured and well-supporting climbing shoe, suitable for crag climbing, long routes and bouldering, which meets the modern demands of climbers thanks to its characteristics. The new construction concept combines the advantages of the homogeneous wrap of a ballerina shoe with the precise volume adjustment of a climbing shoe with a hook-and-loop closure. This solution offers maximum sensitivity and a precise fit even under torsional loads: the shoe follows the foot's movements perfectly and avoids unfilled areas and pressure points. The heel is extremely innovative thanks to the S-Heel™ shell and helps maintain perfect stability even under torsional loads. Performance and adaptability when hooking, including hooks derived from bouldering, are improved. The P3 System used also guarantees that the shoe keeps its shape and improves its structure and load-bearing capacity. Maximum precision, maximum performance.
